Speaking to media after the meeting, Qureshi said that PML-Q was equally concerned about election rigging. Both parties believe that ECP failed to perform its duty of holding free and fair elections, according to Qureshi.

He said that all ECP members must step down to reconstitute the commission. “We have set up a committee to establish future contacts,” Qureshi added.

Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain seconded PTI’s stance saying that those ECP members who failed to hold transparent elections should resign on moral grounds.
